9

9. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: initiating an inquiry message about whether to proceed with video editing, in response to more than a preset duration having lapsed before the user performs a corresponding operation for the initiated operation prompt; and performing at least one of a video save operation and a video editing interface exit operation, in response to receiving a confirmation instruction not to proceed with video editing.

10

10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising: waiting, in a specified duration, for the user to perform an operation corresponding to the operation prompt, in response to receiving a confirmation instruction to proceed with video editing.

11

11. The method according to claim 7, wherein an icon corresponding to a play operation, an icon corresponding to a pause operation, and an icon corresponding to a video progress drag operation that are displayed on the video editing interface are all in the enabled state.

12

12. An electronic device, comprising: a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to read the executable instructions from the memory, and execute the executable instructions to: obtain a reference editing operation sequence specified by a user, wherein the reference editing operation sequence comprises a plurality of reference editing operations arranged in a sequential order of reference operations; provide operation prompts on a video editing interface according to the sequential order of the plurality of reference editing operations, to direct the user to perform the plurality of reference editing operations on a target video step by step; display a plurality of elements on the video editing interface, wherein each of the plurality of elements corresponds to one of the plurality of reference editing operations, and wherein each of the plurality of elements has a disabled state and an enabled state; switching at least one subset of the plurality of elements from the disabled state to the enabled state in response to receiving input on the at least one subset of the plurality of elements; and performing at least one subset of the plurality of reference editing operations corresponding to the at least one subset of the plurality of elements.
